The Queendom of Stevist Guam is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Greatkitteh with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 10.063 billion Stevists are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The tiny, corrupt, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PlayPen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Stevist Guamian economy, worth a remarkable 2,925 trillion Roqs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 290,741 Roqs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,402,688 per year while the poor average 35,036, a ratio of 40.0 to 1.
A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stevist Guam's national animal is the Kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stevism.
Stevist Guam is ranked 293,871st in the world and 4,350th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
